The gain (loss) described above is for financial statement purposes only.  There are significant differences between the equity method of accounting and the tax reporting of income and losses from Operating Partnership investments. The largest difference is the ability, for tax purposes, to deduct losses in excess of the Fund's investment in the Operating Partnership.  As a result, the amount of gain recognized for tax purposes may be significantly higher than the gain recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund's fiscal year ends March 31st of each year, while all the Operating Partnerships' fiscal years are the calendar year.  Pursuant to the provisions of each Operating Partnership Agreement, financial results for each of the Operating Partnerships are provided to the Fund within 45 days after the close of each Operating Partnerships quarterly period.  Accordingly, the current financial results available for the Operating Partnerships are for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

accounting.  Under the equity method of accounting, the Fund adjusts
its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of
operations and for any distributions received or accrued.  However, the
Fund recognizes individual operating losses only to the extent of
capital contributions.  Excess losses are suspended for use in future years to
offset excess income.

Fund recognizes individual operating losses only to the extent of
capital contributions.  Excess losses are suspended for use in future years to
offset excess income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009
(Unaudited)

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the calendar year ended December 31, 2009 is expected to differ from its loss for financial reporting purposes.  This is primarily due to accounting differences in depreciation incurred by the Operating Partnerships and also differences between the equity method of accounting and the IRS accounting methods.  No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners and assignees individually.

NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events, which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the balance sheet date, require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management evaluated the activity ofthe Fundthrough the date the financial statements were issued, which was February 16, 2010, the date of the Fund's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009. Management concluded that subsequent events have occurred that require disclosure in the notes to the financial statements as discussed in the following paragraph.

The Fund has entered into agreements to either sell or transfer interests in seven Operating Partnerships.  The estimated sales prices and other terms for the disposition of the Operating Partnerships have been determined.  The estimated proceeds to be received for these seven Operating Partnerships are $488,299. The estimated gain on sales of the Operating Partnerships is $372,718 and the sales are expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year end 2010 or the first or third quarter of fiscal year end 2011.







Item 2.  Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies and predictions of our future activities, or other future events or conditions. These statements are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by these acts. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including, for example, the factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Liquidity

The Fund's primary source of funds is the proceeds of its Public Offering.  Other sources of liquidity will include (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment and on working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund has invested and will invest.  Interest income is expected to decrease over the life of the Fund as capital contributions are paid to the Operating Partnerships and working capital reserves are expended.  The Fund does not anticipate significant cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships.

The Fund is currently accruing the fund management fee.  Fund management fees accrued during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $444,210 and total fund management fees accrued as of December 31, 2009 were $23,352,035. During the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009 $775,000 and $1,775,000 of accrued fund management fees was paid respectively. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, these liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives proceeds from sales of the Operating Partnerships, which will be used to satisfy these liabilities.  The Fund's working capital and sources of liquidity coupled with affiliated party liability accruals allow sufficient levels of liquidity to meet the third party obligations of the Fund.  The Fund is currently unaware of any trends which would create insufficient liquidity to meet future third party obligations of the Fund.

As of December 31, 2009, an affiliate of the general partner of the Fund advanced a total of $795,983 to the Fund to pay some operating expenses of the Fund, and to make advances and/or loans to Operating Partnerships. These advances are included in Accounts payable-affiliates. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 Series 18 was advanced $11,007. Below is a summary, by series, of the total advances made to date.



|          | Nine Months Ended | Total

|Series 16 | $      -          | $  2,611

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Fund held limited partnership interests in 173 and 204 Operating Partnerships, respectively.  In each instance the apartment complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the federal housing tax credit.  Initial occupancy of a unit in each apartment complex which complied with the minimum set-aside test (i.e., initial occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median income) and the rent restriction test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to as "Qualified Occupancy."  Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective apartment complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or applicable report on Form 8-K.  The general partner of the Fund believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

The Fund incurs a fund management fee to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (formerly Boston Capital Communications Limited Partnership), or BCAMLP, in an amount equal to .5 percent of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of various asset management and reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships. The fund management fees incurred and the reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:

|          | 3 Months
Management Fee Net of Reporting Fee | 3 Months
Reporting Fee | 9 Months
Management Fee Net of Reporting Fee | 9 Months

The Fund's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested or intends to invest.  The Fund's investments in Operating Partnerships have been made principally with a view towards realization of federal housing tax credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.



Series 15

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The series had a total of 40 properties December 31, 2009, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, Series 15 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(794,590) and $(847,557), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,521,927 and $1,858,336, respectively. This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year end results.

Beckwood Manor Eight Limited Partnership (Lakeside Apartments) is a 32-unit, senior property, located in Lake Village, Arkansas. The property receives rental assistance for 23 units and is generally able to keep those occupied. There are several other low income tax credit developments in the area offering rental assistance. It remains difficult to rent units without rental assistance.  The property is offering two months of free rent as a leasing incentive and the management company continues to advertise heavily in surrounding areas. Despite the low occupancy, the property operated above breakeven in 2008. Occupancy dropped to 59% through the fourth quarter of 2009 and operations fell back below breakeven. The investment general partner will conduct a site visit in the first quarter of 2010 to ensure the property is being properly maintained. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed.  The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are all current.

Livingston Plaza, Limited (Livingston Plaza) is a 24-unit, family property located in Livingston, Texas. The property has struggled with occupancy levels for several years. Despite efforts to improve the reputation of the property and reduce resident turnover and evictions, occupancy averaged 71% in 2008 and was 54% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2009, and the property continued to operate below breakeven through 2009.  The continued low occupancy is partially due to economic conditions in the area. Management is continuing to evict between two and three residents each month. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing flyers to local businesses, churches, and schools. Management has also contacted the local housing authority and has instituted a resident referral program.  To help retain residents, management is currently planning onsite events to enhance the sense of community at the property. Also, to maintain a safe environment for the residents, the site manager worked with the local police department and was successful in establishing regular afternoon and evening police patrols through the property. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are current. The operating general partner guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. The low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2008. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.



In October 2009, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Osage Housing Associates LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $530,583 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $480,000.  Of the total proceeds received, $7,600 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs.  The remaining proceeds of $472,400 will be returned to cash reserves held by Series 15.  The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership.  After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $472,400 as of December 31, 2009.

Greentree Apartments Limited (Sue-Ellen Apartments) is a 24-unit, family property located in Utica, OH.  The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult while  operations declined.  The property operated below breakeven in 2008.  During the first quarter of 2009, the operating general partner learned that the current management company's contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development has accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings.  Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. There is a reputable potential operating general partner that is interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests.  We anticipate an offer in the first quarter 2010. The affiliated management company of the potential operating general partner has already been placed on-site by Rural Development.  This has improved the overall management of the property. The investment limited partner met with the operating general partner in September 2009 in an effort to push forward the potential sale. The investment general partner will continue to work with the potential incoming operating general partner and Rural Development until there is a resolution to the foreclosure proceedings. The total potential recapture and interest is estimated to be $20,824 to the Operating Partnership, equivalent to $4 per 1,000 BACs.  The low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2009.

Showboat Manor LDHA LP (Showboat Manor Apartments) is a 26-unit senior property located in Chesaning, MI. The property has historically operated with low occupancy, which has resulted in below breakeven operations. In 2009, this property continued to face several challenges. Despite efforts to reduce vacancy through aggressive marketing, occupancy ended in the fourth quarter of 2009 at 85%, and the property continued to operate below breakeven through 2009. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing flyers to local businesses, churches, and schools. Management has also contacted the local housing authority and has instituted a resident referral program.  To help retain residents, management is  offering onsite events to enhance the sense of community. Also, to maintain a safe environment for the residents, the site manager worked with the local police department and was successful in establishing regular afternoon and evening police patrols.  As a result of historically low occupancy, the tax and insurance escrow was not adequately funded in 2007, and the 2007 real estate taxes were delinquent. In an effort to address the delinquencies, management created a two-year workout plan which was approved by Rural Development in May 2008. The primary goal of the workout plan was to pay down delinquent real estate taxes. The secondary goal was to properly fund the tax and insurance escrow account. As per the workout plan, the replacement reserve funding requirement was temporarily waived so that those scheduled deposits could be allocated to the funding of the tax and insurance escrow. The tax and insurance escrow account was expected to be funded over a period of 18 months, at which time the focus was to convert to the funding of the replacement reserves.  As part of the workout plan two $40 rental increases were approved, one in May 2008, and another one in May 2009, which went directly towards the funding of the escrow account. However, due to continued low occupancy, management was unsuccessful in fully funding the tax and insurance escrow account. In December 2009 management informed Rural Development of the issue and at this time is waiting for their response. The operating general partner's operating deficit guarantee has expired. The Operating Partnership's mortgage payments are current to date. On December 31, 2007, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.

Croix Commons Limited Partnership (St. Croix Commons Apartments) is a 40-unit, family property located in Woodville, Wisconsin. The property is suffering from low occupancy due to a weak rental market. In addition, St. Croix Commons experienced a higher than anticipated rate of turnover, primarily due to delinquency, evictions, and skips. Most of the residents who vacated lost their employment and could no longer pay their rent. Occupancy at the end of the fourth quarter of 2009 was 88%.

The operating general partner continues to financially support the Operating Partnership. The operating general partner's operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount.  The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current.

However, several businesses are rumored to be moving from Atlanta to McDonough, which should increase the need for housing in the area. During 2009, additional advertising campaigns were started, including an ad in the local Hispanic newspaper, an online listing that reaches out to safe houses, rehab homes, etc., and new flyers, balloons and flags to enhance the property's visibility within the community.

Branson Christian County II (Abbey Orchards Apartments II) is a 56-unit family property located in Nixa, Missouri.  The property has, historically, operated above breakeven with occupancy above 90%.  However, occupancy began to decline rapidly in the first quarter of 2008 due to the manager's lack of marketing and leasing ability.  Upon her replacement, significant improvements began in April 2008.  As a result of a resident survey implemented by the new manager, curb appeal was improved and open-house activities were held on a regular basis.  The new manager also increased advertising throughout the area.  Additionally, the property began hosting community events. Management also created a fitness center in an unused portion of the community room, adjacent to the laundry facilities. Unit washers and dryers were also offered as move-in specials and will become permanent fixtures in the units.  The 2008 occupancy  continued to increase through the fourth quarter, ending the year at 86%. Throughout the first half of 2009, occupancy has further improved, reaching a second quarter average of 93%.

The operating general partner's guarantee expired in 2004; however, the operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed.  The mortgage, taxes and insurance are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.

Joiner Elderly, Limited Partnership is a 25-unit development in Joiner, AR.  In 2008, average occupancy was 89% and the property operated above breakeven for the year.  However, by the end of the fourth quarter 2008, occupancy declined to 80%.  In 2009, occupancy peaked at 92% in May, and was down to 72% by the end of the fourth quarter.  This decrease is primarily due to poor economic situations and a smaller tenant pool. Properties with rental assistance located in the area in recent years have also negatively impacted occupancy.  The property has recently entered into a work out plan approved by Rural Development in an attempt to address the vacancy situation.  This plan includes possible replacement of site manager, advertising in the local paper, distribution of fliers, and rental concessions.  These are just a few options being explored. The property is operating below breakeven.  The investment general partner will continue to work with the operating general partner to find ways to improve operations and position the property to operate back above breakeven status.  On December 31, 2007, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.

Occupancy as of December 2009 was 98%.  Despite the increased occupancy, the property continues to operate below breakeven due to high maintenance expense and real estate taxes. The operating general partner continues to fund all operating deficits. The mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance payments are current.  On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.

The investment general partner will continue to work with the operating general partner to ensure the operating general partner advances money to pay down the outstanding payables.

Green Acres Limited Partnership (Green Acres Estates) is a 48-unit, (20 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit units) property located in West Bath, Maine.  Through the fourth quarter of 2009 the property continues to operate below breakeven due to low occupancy.  As of December 31, 2009 the property was 79% occupied. Insufficient funds to turn the units, and consequently the lack of rent ready units, have contributed greatly to the low occupancy. In discussions with the operating general partner, the investment general partner continues to emphasize the importance of advancing funds to make all vacant units rent ready. Four of the ten vacant units require significant work in order to make the units rent ready. Management has experience in the market and believes that once the vacant units become rent ready, occupancy should stabilize above 90%.  All taxes, insurance, and mortgage payments are current. The operating general partner's obligation to fund operating deficits is unlimited in time and amount. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.  The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.



Park Place II, Ltd (Park Place Apartments) is a 34-unit property located in Lehigh Acres, FL. The property continues to operate below breakeven through the fourth quarter of 2009 due to low occupancy caused by poor market conditions and an increase in administrative expenses. Lehigh Acres is a rural town that experienced a large housing and construction boom until the housing bubble burst in 2007. Most of the jobs in the area were tied to real estate and construction. Homes are now selling for 80% of their peak prices and the area is experiencing massive layoffs. Residents are leaving the community because they are not able to afford the rent or are relocating to find work elsewhere. The property is competing with individuals that are renting their homes at discounted rents to avoid losing their homes to foreclosure. Also, those that can still afford the rents are choosing to live in newer apartment communities with more amenities than Park Place. To compete with newer competition in the area, management was granted approval from Rural Development to reduce rents by $70/month.  The rent reduction commenced in April 2009. The investment general partner commissioned a secret shopper to visit the property in August 2009. The secret shopper report revealed poor leasing practices. The investment general partner discussed the poor report results with management.  Management acknowledged the issues and began implementing new strategies for leasing.  These strategies include having all individuals that come into the office fill out a contact information card before getting a tour of the community. Management has begun keeping track of all incoming calls and requesting the caller set up an appointment to visit the property. Additionally, the property manager has been instructed to state all the amenities and positive aspects of the property when giving a tour of the community. Occupancy increased dramatically in the fourth quarter as a result of management's improved leasing approach. The property was 100% occupied as of December 31, 2009. The increase in administrative expenses can be attributed to an increase in advertising and marketing.  Now that occupancy has stabilized, management expects the marketing costs to drop off which will help to reduce administrative expenses going forward. All taxes, insurance and mortgage payments are current. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Palmetto Properties Ltd. (Palmetto Villas) is a 49-unit property located in Palmetto, Florida. The property has historically suffered from low occupancy, high operating expenses, and deferred maintenance issues. Occupancy averaged 74% in 2009, an increase from the prior year average of 63%. Currently only 28 units have rental assistance. Rents on the remaining units are $650 for a two bedroom, and $680 for a three bedroom. Despite good rental traffic at the property, most applicants do not find these rents to be affordable. The operating general partner recently completed a sale of another Rural Development financed property they owned which had rental subsidies. They petitioned the district Rural Development office to transfer this rental assistance to Palmetto in order to alleviate the vacancy problem.  Rural Development agreed to transfer an additional 18 units of rental assistance, and as a result, occupancy increased to 88% in December 2009.  The operating general partner will continue to work with Rural Development in order to come up with a viable solution to the remaining issues. Due to the dire occupancy problems, deferred maintenance issues, and the overall lack of funds, the property is operating well below breakeven.  Taxes are in arrears, and were sold at a tax certificate sale. On January 5, 2010 Rural Development issued a notice of acceleration of the debt.  The reasons for the acceleration were the failure to pay the real estate taxes, adequately fund replacement reserves, maintain the complex in a decent, safe, and sanitary condition, submit an operating budget, and maintain an acceptable occupancy rate.  The operating general partner has requested an informal meeting to discuss the acceleration. The investment general partner will continue to monitor this situation closely. The low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2009.

Accordingly, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership has been recorded as of December 31, 2008.

Cypress Point LP (Laurel Ridge Apartments) is a 78-unit property, located in Naples, FL. Due to local economic conditions, occupancy steadily decreased from its historical average of near 100% to a 2007 and 2008 average of 90%. The property operated below breakeven in both 2007 and 2008.  As economic conditions have deteriorated in Florida, the property has continued to struggle with economic vacancy. Prior to 2007, the Naples area had experienced significant growth in the construction industry, but in 2007 construction halted due to oversupply and declining property values.  In efforts to avoid foreclosure, many private owners began competing with Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties by accepting Section 8 vouchers.  As no additional Section 8 vouchers were being provided to area residents, the market became extremely competitive as properties were vying for the same dwindling tenant base. Concessions increased dramatically and rental rates declined significantly. In addition, the tourism market has slowed resulting in many service employees losing their jobs or seeing their hours reduced. As a result, evictions increased in the area as rents became unaffordable to many. Management at Laurel Ridge has reduced rents and is offering a one-month concession broken out over the first two months of a twelve-month lease. Although the property has been able to maintain occupancy at or slightly above 90%, operations remain below breakeven. Concessions and bad debt are both trending well above 2008 levels. Expenses are higher than historical averages due to increased turnover costs as well as high water and sewer rates. Management is working with tenants to make payment arrangements in an effort to reduce bad debt and evictions.

Gallaway Associates is a 36-unit elderly property located in Gallaway, TN.  The property averaged 80% occupancy through the first half of 2009.  Management indicated that the low occupancy was due to a combination of the age and physical condition of the property, as well as the $550 utility deposit.  Management has alleviated the burden of the utility deposit by creating individual workout plans with each prospective tenant.  Each workout plan is dependent on the tenant's ability to make additional monthly payments.  The property has addressed the deteriorating physical conditions by infusing $18,000 from replacement reserves into unit restoration.  Unit restoration consists of replacement of outdated appliances, carpets, and doors.  All restoration took place throughout the first half of 2009.  Since management addressed these two prevailing property issues, occupancy averaged 94% during the fourth quarter of 2009 and the property operated slightly above breakeven for the year.  The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are all current.  On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.

The occupancy in December was 78% and management anticipates occupancy to slowly increase during 2010.

Occupancy averaged 92% through the fourth quarter 2009 and was 94% as of December 31, 2009. Although occupancy is strong and expenses remain reasonable, low rental rates in the area continue to prevent the property from achieving breakeven operations. The management company is marketing the available units by working closely with the Housing Authority and by continuing various marketing efforts to attract qualified residents. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current. The operating general partner continues to fund all operating deficits.

Glen Place Apartments (Glen Place Apartments)is a 35-unit family development located in Duluth, MN. As of December 31, 2009 occupancy was 90%.

Arch Development, LP (Arch Apartments) is a 75-unit property located in Boston, Massachusetts, and provides low-income housing to homeless, HIV positive, and very low income tenants.  In 2008, occupancy averaged 87%. Despite low occupancy, the property operated above breakeven in 2008.  Occupancy was 81% as of December 31, 2009, and the property continued to operate above breakeven through the fourth quarter. This Operating Partnership has historically had issues involving late payment of taxes, water, and sewer bills.  According to the City of Boston, all payments for the 2009 real estate taxes have been received. First quarter and second quarter 2010 real estate taxes were due on August 3, 2009 and November 2, 2009, respectively.  These bills have not been paid.  According to the Boston Water and Sewer Department, water and sewer payments are delinquent on five of the five accounts. The last payment on each account was made in December, 2009; however, the payments did not cover the outstanding amount due.  December water and sewer bills were mailed out on January 10, 2010.   The investment general partner is monitoring this Operating Partnership closely to ensure that taxes, water and sewer bills are paid. To improve occupancy, management continues to work with the Boston Housing Authority to improve applicant processing and move-in timeframes. The Boston Housing Authority's certification and recertification process is very slow and results in large tenant and subsidy receivables from retroactive rent changes. The investment general partner will monitor this Operating Partnership to ensure that occupancy improves. The operating general partner has an unlimited guarantee in time and amount.  The first mortgage expired in April 2009.  The lender denied the operating general partner's initial request for an extension of the mortgage payment.

The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Bear Creek of Naples (Bear Creek Apartments) is a 120-unit family development located in Naples, Florida. The property operated below breakeven through the fourth quarter of 2009 due to vacancy loss and high maintenance expenses associated with turning the vacant units and correcting deferred maintenance issues. Occupancy has improved throughout the year and the resident base has been strengthened; however, in September 2009 the property manager unexpectedly left which had a negative impact on operations. By the end of the fourth quarter 2009, occupancy had slipped to 86%. Management had been signing seven-month leases to improve occupancy but this resulted in higher turnover costs and was not effective.  Management is now only offering one-year leases. The investment general partner has suggested that management implement resident retention programs to discourage move-outs. Management is running ads in the local paper every weekend and has signs in front of the property advertising rents to drive-by traffic since the property is on a main road. A new property manager has been hired and management is confident that occupancy will improve in the first quarter 2010.  The property is struggling with payables.  To help reduce payables, management has changed vendors for painting, carpeting, and cabinet replacement to reduce costs.  In the fourth quarter of 2009, a loan modification was executed to reduce principal payments from $9,493/month to $5,000/month effective from December 10, 2009 to January 10, 2011. Beginning February 10, 2011, the Operating Partnership will revert back to paying principal of $9,493 per month. The loan modification agreement will  ensure increased cash flow over the short term so that the payable issue can be addressed.  The mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Preston Wood Associates, LP (Preston Wood Apartments) is a 62-unit property located in Bentonville, Arkansas. Average occupancy was 75% in 2007 and operations were below breakeven for the year.  In 2008, operations further deteriorated and average occupancy was just 46%. In January 2009, the operating general partner brought in a new management company with prior success in the market.  Since the new company has assumed management duties, deferred maintenance and physical improvements have been made in an effort to make the property more attractive.  In addition, new tenant programs and marketing outreach initiatives were introduced.  However, the property remains unable to effectively compete with newer properties in the area due to its age and the fact that it offers fewer amenities than its competitors.  In addition, there have been a number of layoffs in Bentonville resulting in evictions and tenants moving out of the area. Further adding to marketing concerns is a road-widening project the City is performing in front of the property.  The property sign has been taken down and the construction activity limits drive-by traffic as the property entrance is typically blocked by construction equipment.  The City does not allow temporary banners, balloons, or other signs in front of the property. Road work on the side of the road closest to the community will be completed in spring 2010 and work on the opposite side of the road is not anticipated to be completed until 2011. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2009, occupancy was 69% and operations were below breakeven. The permanent debt matured in August 2009 and was initially extended to December 2009.  At the end of the fourth quarter 2009 the operating general partner confirmed that the mortgage was extended again to August 2012.  All deficits are being funded by the operating general partner. The investment general partner will continue to monitor occupancy and operations. The mortgage, accounts payable, property taxes, and insurance are all current. The low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2009.

Humboldt I, LP (Briarwood Apartments) is a 20-unit property located in Humboldt, IA.  Operations have struggled at this property for the past several years due to low occupancy and high maintenance expenses related to resident turnover.  Due to lack of cash flow in prior years, replacement reserves were not funded to the required levels. Historical and ongoing challenges cited by management include problem tenants that require eviction, difficulty attracting quality tenants, and the poor state of the local economy.  Eight units at the property are one bedroom units.  These units are the most difficult to lease.  Management targets seniors for one-bedroom units through outreach with various housing programs.  Management relies heavily on outside contacts and referrals from the local housing authority, but also runs advertisements on a weekly basis for the property in a free weekly advertiser that is distributed throughout town.  The applicant screening process has become more stringent in order to maintain a strong tenant base so when vacancies occur they are more difficult to fill. The fourth quarter of 2009 had an average occupancy of 70%.  The low occupancy and unit turn costs have caused the property to continue operating below breakeven in 2009.  The replacement reserves account is under-funded due to the constant withdrawals of funds to finance capital expenditures and costs related to turnover.  The plan is to continue contributions as funds become available and occupancy increases. The investment general partner will continue to work closely with the operating general partner to monitor occupancy, fund of the replacement reserve account, and ensure operational stabilization. A Servicing Workout Plan dated September 28, 2009 was approved by Rural Development to bring the replacement reserve account and accounts payable current, and to increase occupancy to 100% with qualified tenants within the next six to twelve months.  To accomplish these goals, rental incentives and discounts are being offered, aggressive marketing techniques are being implemented, and quarterly meetings are being held as a means of tracking progress.  A new site manager was hired in August 2009 to assist with the property's overall improvement.  A site visit was conducted in October 2009 by the investment general partner.  The property was found to be in generally good condition.



Marengo Park Apartments LP (Marengo Park Apartments) is a 24-unit property located in Marengo Park, IA. Occupancy has historically been an issue for this property.  Occupancy was at 67% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2009.  This low occupancy was due to tenants vacating because of unemployment and evictions for nonpayment of rents. Management anticipates improvements in occupancy and operations as a result of a new site manager who was recently hired. In addition to advertising in a local newspaper, distributing flyers, and contacting local employers, the site manager is working with the local housing agencies. Management has also revised advertisements to attract new applicants and added signage to the property to attract prospects.  However, the property continues to operate below breakeven.  Maintenance expenses remain relatively high.  Accounts payable are anticipated to be paid down as occupancy improves and rental income increases. The property is operating under an approved Servicing Workout Plan dated March 3, 2009, which aims to fund the replacement reserves, make payables current, resolve capital improvement issues, and achieve 100% occupancy.  Management plans to increase deposits into the replacement reserve and tax and insurance escrow accounts as funds become available. Payables are anticipated to be brought current within a year provided that the property achieves and maintains full occupancy and expenses remain within budget.  By spring 2010, funds are expected to be sufficient to cover capital improvements including concrete work on sidewalks. The investment general partner continues to work closely with the operating general partner to monitor the property until occupancy improves and operations stabilize back above breakeven. A site visit was conducted in October 2009.  The property was in good condition and continues to be monitored regarding all issues, including the progress of the new site manager, with an emphasis on increasing occupancy.

Series 19

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The series had a total of 19 properties at December 31, 2009, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, Series 19 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(428,239) and $(754,067), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,293,626 and $1,700,738, respectively.This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year end results.

Martindale Apartments, Ltd. (Martindale Apartments) is a 24-unit property located in Martindale, Texas.  In the past, inadequate rental rates were not covering normal operating expenses.  In 2008, Rural Development approved a rent increase of approximately $15 per unit, even though the operating general partner had requested $60 per unit.  The increased rents caused resident turnover and occupancy decreased to average 87% in 2008.  The property operated below breakeven in 2008 due to the low occupancy. In 2009 occupancy averaged 92%. Despite this, the property continues to operate below breakeven due to insufficient rental rates. To increase traffic, management is working with local agencies and businesses.  The operating general partner is funding all deficits as needed.  All real estate tax, mortgage, and insurance payments are current.  On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.



Carrollton Villa, L.P. (Meadow Ridge Apartments) located in Carrollton, Missouri, has historically operated below breakeven due to low rent levels in the area.  Occupancy at the property averaged 98% in 2007 and 99% in 2008.  Occupancy has remained strong in 2009; the property is 100% occupied as of December 2009.  Despite strong occupancy, the property continued to operate below breakeven through 2009 due to the low rent levels which remain stagnant in the area. The area is rural with few employment opportunities.  The property receives a grant from the State to enable the property to reduce the rents for the residents but not lose any income.  The grant is received annually and is valid through December 2010.  Upon transfer of the operating general partner interests in 2004, the mortgage became a cash flow only mortgage, which has helped to significantly reduce operating deficits.  The Operating Partnership is currently in non-compliance status with Missouri Housing Development Corporation (MHDC) because the property did not submit an audit for 2007 by the state deadline.  The MHDC requires the submission of an annual audit.  Per the operating general partner, he chose to have the Operating Partnership issue a tax return rather than an audit since the low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2009, and the property has historically operated at a deficit. The property did not have the funds to perform an audit.  The operating general partner appealed MHDC's audit requirement ruling, but his request was denied.  The 2007 and 2008 audits were finalized June 25, 2009, and the operating general partner is working with the MHDC to enter the audits into the system.  The operating general partner and management believe that as soon as both audits and the 2009 budget are uploaded to MHDC's system, the property's non-compliance standing should be lifted.  The opearting general partner and management have frequently contacted MHDC to upload all of the necessary documents to return the property to compliance status, but as of December 31, 2009 the documents had not been uploaded.  High utility expenses in the third quarter of 2009 also contributed to the below breakeven performance.  According to management, the City of Carrollton has dramatically increased water and sewer billing rates to cover the cost of repairs to the water lines.  The due dates for the primary and secondary mortgages were extended from December 2008 and November 2008 to December 2013 and November 2013, respectively.  The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current.  Operating deficits have been funded through the operating general partner and the investment limited partner contributions. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.  The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Forest Associates Limited (Sharon Apartments) is a 24-unit apartment complex for families located in Forest, OH.  The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult.  The operations declined and the property operated below breakeven for 2008 with occupancy ending at 63% for December 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the investment general partner learned that the current management company's contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development has accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings.  Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. There is a reputable operating general partner that is interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests.  We anticipate an offer by the first quarter of 2010. The affiliated management company of the potential operating general partner has already been placed on-site by Rural Development. The investment general partner met with the operating general partner in September in an effort to push forward the potential sale. The investment limited partner will continue to work with the potential incoming operating general partner and Rural Development until there is a resolution to the foreclosure proceedings. The total potential recapture is $29,750.  The 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expires at December 31, 2010.

Jeremy Associates, LP (Coopers Crossing Apartments) is a 93-unit family development located in Las Colinas, Texas.  In 2008, average occupancy was 94%; however, the property continued to operate below breakeven due to high operating expenses.  Operating expenses are high mainly due to high maintenance costs as a result of severe physical deficiencies in a number of buildings on site.  Since construction, a number of the buildings have had differential settlement issues resulting in cracked floor slabs, cracked brick veneer, cracking windows and doors and sagging balconies.  These concerns have been addressed on an ongoing basis via advances by the operating general partner.  Despite high occupancy and cost control efforts including staffing reduction, reduced marketing and the shutting down of one boiler during warmer months, the property continued to operate below breakeven in 2009.  Through the fourth quarter of 2009 average occupancy was 96% and at the end of the quarter was 97%. The operating general partner has stated that refinance is not an option due to a prohibitively expensive yield maintenance penalty. However, he has stated that they have entered preliminary discussions with regards to reducing their monthly debt service by an alternative arrangement with the lender so as to allow the property increased cash flow.  The operating general partner continues to address settlement concerns by slab-jacking to stabilize movement.  All buildings are on-line and deferred maintenance does not appear to be an issue.  The operating general partner is actively repairing drywall cracks, adjusting sticking doors, and repainting impacted units. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits despite the expiration of the operating deficit guarantee.  So far the operating general partner has advanced over $1,600,000 for repairs and operating deficits. The mortgage, trade payables, property taxes and insurance are current.

Sherwood Knoll L.P. (Sherwood Knoll Apartments) is a 24-unit project located in Rainsville, Alabama.  The property operated below breakeven in 2008 despite average occupancy of 98%. Occupancy at the end of the fourth quarter 2009 was 83% and the property continues to operate below breakeven. The decrease in occupancy can be attributed primarily to job loss as a result of several shops closing down in the area over the past year.  Management is advertising in the local paper, as well as posting flier in response to the decrease in occupancy. The operating deficit is being funded with a cash overdraft.  The bank allows an overdraft in an unlimited amount and for an unlimited period without interest charges.  The replacement reserve was underfunded in 2008.  The investment general partner will continue to work with the operating general partner to find ways to improve operations and position the property to operate back above breakeven status.  The operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired.  The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Northpointe LP (Northpointe Apartments) is a 158-unit family property located in Kansas City, MO.  In 2008, despite average occupancy of 94% and static operating expenses, the property operated below breakeven. Rents have been kept below the maximum allowable to remain competitive with two nearby tax credit properties developed within the past five years.  Occupancy has remained strong in 2009, ending the year at 90%, but rent levels remain insufficient to cover expenses. The operating general partner continues to fund deficits as needed.  The property's mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance payments are all current.  The low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2009, and the investment limited partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the partnership.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the Fund to make various estimates and assumptions.  The following section is a summary of some aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of the Fund's financial condition and results of operations.  The Fund believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.

The Fund is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which are primarily investments in limited partnerships.  The Fund accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Fund does not control the operations of the Operating Partnerships. The purpose of an impairment analysis is to verify that the real estate investment balance reflected on the balance sheet does not exceed the value of the underlying investments.

If the book value of the Fund's investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Fund and the estimated residual value to the Fund, the Fund reduces its investment in the Operating Partnership and includes this reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.

As of March 31, 2004, the Fund adopted GAAP for the Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. GAAP provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity ("VIE") in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it absorbs the majority of the entity's expected losses, the majority of the expected returns, or both.

Based on this guidance, the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund invests meet the definition of a VIE.  However, management does not consolidate the Fund's interests in these VIEs under this guidance, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The Fund currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.

The Fund's balance in investment in Operating Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Fund's exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture.



Recent Accounting Changes

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued GAAP for Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and shall be applied prospectively except for very limited transactions.  In February 2008, the FASB delayed for one year implementation of the guidance as it pertains to certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Fund adopted GAAP for Fair Value Measurements effective April 1, 2008, except as it applies to those non-financial assets and liabilities, for which the effective date was April 1, 2009. The Fund has determined that adoption of this guidance has no material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued GAAP for The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The fair value election is designed to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  On April 1, 2008, the Fund adopted GAAP for The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and elected not to apply the provisions to its eligible financial assets and financial liabilities on the date of adoption. Accordingly, the initial application of the guidance had no effect on the Fund.

In June 2006, GAAP for Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of GAAP for Accounting for Income Taxes, was issued.  This requires all taxpayers to analyze all material positions they have taken or plan to take in all tax returns that have been filed or should have been filed with all taxing authorities for all years still subject to challenge by those taxing authorities. If the position taken is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority on its technical merits and if there is more than a 50% likelihood that the position would be sustained if challenged and considered by the highest court in the relevant jurisdiction, the tax consequences of that position should be reflected in the taxpayer's GAAP financial statements. Earlier proposed interpretations of GAAP for Accounting for Income Taxes had recommended a "probable" standard for recognition of tax consequences rather than the "more-likely-than-not" standard finally adopted.

Because the Fund has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes, this guidance does not currently have any impact on the Fund's financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued GAAP for Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  This requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements.  It became effective for Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and has no impact on the Fund's financial condition or results of operations.



Recent Accounting Changes - continued

In November 2008, the FASB issued GAAP on Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations that addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, how an equity method investee's issuance of shares should be accounted for, and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Fund adopted the guidance for the interim quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. The impact of adopting it does not have a material impact on the Fund's financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued GAAP for Subsequent Events. It establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It is effective for Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2009, and has no material impact on the Fund's financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs).  The amended guidance modifies the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaces the current quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE.  Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs.  This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Fund's financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification).  Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  The Codification is intended to reorganize, rather than change, existing GAAP.  Accordingly, all references to currently existing GAAP have been removed and have been replaced with plain English explanations of the Fund's accounting policies.  The adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial position or results of operations.
